The peach is probably more extensively cultivated in our country than 
any other fruit, and it well deserves its popularity amongst the American 
people, as there is nothing that excels a luscious, red-ripe peach. There has 
however been much complaint of 
late that the finer varieties do not 
bear enough in Texas. People 
attribute this to the drought, yet 
the failure in most cases is due to 
the ignorance of the people. The 
traveling tree agents from other 
states introduce new varieties 
every year that are in most eases 
not at all adapted to our climate. 
Therefore, never buy a tree un- 
less you know that it is grown by 
a reliable nurseryman in your 
own state. West Texas is a dry 
country, but nevertheless good 
peaches can be raised, and plenty 
of them, provided the proper 
varieties are planted. 
The peach succeeds in almost 
any soil, but it prefers sandy soil 
mth red clay subsoil to any other. 
The follownng varieties are all 
OUR TWO-YEAR-OLD PEACH TREES thoroughly tested by me, and I 
consider them the best collection that can be made for our climate. They are 
selected from 400 different varieties, and as each variety has a ripening period 
of from 10 to 15 days, peaches may be had all the time from the middle of 
May until November. I have arranged them in order of ripening for the 
convenience of the buyer.
